Awesome tutorial! A little more involved than my previous hackintosh on Dell e7250 using clover, but I love the manual aspect of open core vs using clover configurator.

Got a new 7590 with i7 instead of my old i5 and looking forward to making the jump to open core and Big Sur or Monterey vs my old clover and Catalina build.

Very informative tutorial to get me prepared. I appreciate the effort you put into this. Thank you!

Good Tutorial. Got a working hackintosh with Catalina as my hardware did not support Big Sur.

Good tutorial very clear, I just seem to be having problems with booting without the usb, I always need the usb inserted or cannot boot. Not sure if it is my motherboard because if I select Uefi it will not detect the usb or ssd drive, so I have to select legacy+Uefi to be able to even select my drives.

I have a really annoying problem. When I've copied the EFI folder from the USB-drive to the SSDs EFI partition and remove the USB from the computer, my motherboards bios wont recognize the SSD as a bootable device. But from the USB theres no problem booting opencore. I have an Ivy bridge motherboard and all the settings in the bios are correct like UEFI-only and such. I even unplugged the windows SSD and reinstalled Monterey once again. Everything works like a charm except getting the SSD show as a bootable device in bios.

Thank you for this tutorial. But I am still wonder about dual boot. If I have a ssd with window 10 already, can I hacktintosh in another ssd and run macos from that? I'm looking forward to your response, thank you!

Hi! I have a legacy system and i didnt found anything about how to make it visible to the older bios. What should i do? I copied the EFI folder to the system main hdd’s Efi partition and nothing. I have tried all the options so far.

[kantlee]

[aliraqikg]

Hi, I have in issue regarding my USB ports and the bios. So when I try to enter the bios, my keyboard takes over 8 seconds to finally turn on. And my usb with the Mac installer isn’t even recognised. If I take out the keyboard and usb when the bios pop up appears then put them back in they are both recognised. I’m lost because i don’t know why there is such a delay and how I can make my usb the main boot drive. I tried to make the usb the first priority but since by default it’s not recognised in time (because the ports are delayed) it boots me into nothing.

This issue is new and I have only been made aware of it now because I need to use the bios

[sheeda-X]

Got stuck in boot loader again and again saying that( OCB load image failed - unsupported) plz help

[Queensnia]

What if i dont have a EFI folder on my usb?

[DanielBaker-ju]

What does parallel to the directory mean?

[donfreeman]

I would like to see more about setting up the partitions when there are multiple hard drives. And then multi boot with windows, linux, and big sur. I currently have win10 and Manjaro already in a dual boot setup and would like to add macOS. Will need to remove the existing grub gpt bootloader.

Hi, can't boot into windows when I installed
